An Afternoon With Dr. Robi Ludwig
On Sunday, October 22, 2000, Cousincouples.com welcomed a very special guest iin the chatroom. Dr. Robi Ludwig is a psychotherapist whose practiceis based in New York City.
Dr. Ludwig has also appeared many times on the Montel Williams Show, including two segments which discussed cousin relationships. She has been very gracious in accepting our invitation to join us in the chat room, offering advice and insight into some of the many obstacles cousin couples facein their every day life.
Robi Ludwig - Please welcome Robi Ludwig, psychotherapist, to cc.com!
CnMe - hi robi
CnMe - i'm christie,the one who has hounded you for so long....
daizy - welcome
usako - hi robi,welcome to cc. glad that you could join us
Jasper - Hello everyone,Welcome Dr. Ludwig
Robi Ludwig - Hi, how is everyone?
Rocko - Welcome Dr Ludwig, nice to meet you
usako - fine, thanks for asking :) how about you?
CnMe - i think we'reall doing pretty good! i'm expecting a few others to arrive shortly too
Sherri - hello
Robi Ludwig - I'm glad I could be here with all of you too.
Rocko - Thanks, quite fine.
damien - logged on.
CnMe - shall we get started?
Robi Ludwig - Sounds good to me.
Jasper - Have you helped other cousin couples in the past?
Robi Ludwig - I've worked with all types of family and relationship issues. I have also addressed cousin relationship and family problems on the Montel Williams Show.
CnMe - for those of you who aren't familiar with dr. ludwig, she was one of the expert guests on the montel show we did, and the second one which airs on halloween
CnMe - i think the most frequent question we hear at cc.com is how to break the news to the family, and how to convince them it's ok if they are adamantly against it
Robi Ludwig - One of the most important things to ask is yourselves and then pose to your family is, Would you approve of this relationship if we were not cousins?Not all cousin relationships are appropriate, which would be the case for any love or romantic relationship.
CnMe - how does one know for sure if the relationship IS appropriate?
usako - which cousin relationships would not be appropriate?
Robi Ludwig - One of the ways to determine is the two of you are an acceptable match is to determine if you have the same cultural history, shared interest, enjoyhaving fun in the same way and share similar values. Would this person make a good husband/father or wife mother are other important questionsto ask oneself.
Rocko - Dr. Ludwig,I (m/26) live in Germany, my 1st cousin (f/17) lives in Poland. Since last summer, or even last year, we are deeply in love with each other. Together we get along like with no other. But there is a long distance. And the worst problem: Although she has told that she cant stop thinking of me,she forces herself to forget because we are cousins. Brainwashed society where she lives! She says, she cant learn at school, she gets indifferent to everything. Im very concerned about her. I love her so much, what canI do to help us?
Robi Ludwig - First of all, you may want to tell her that it is not recommended to try and stop any feeling. Our emotions don't work that way. Distance can be a problem for any relationship, independent of the fact that the two of you are cousins. My first recommendation would be to ask her if she would be willing to talk to someone like a therapist. A professional person whom she can airall of her thoughts and concerns to. It sounds like she is very overwhelmedby her very powerful emotions for you. Then you can tell her that her feelings are not so unusual. Cousins share an exclusive shared history with eachother. It's a relationship where you don't have to created a shared historyor experience. You have a head start on intimacy, in a sense the work isalready done for you.
Rocko - Robi Ludwig, thank you very much
Jasper - I have a 17 month old daughter. What would be an appropriate age to explain thatwe are cousins as well as spouses?
Robi Ludwig - Jasper,I would start right a way. Do it in a matter a fact way and encourage her to ask as many questions as she wants. After all, this is part of her unique history. She should be proud of who she is, and who her parents are.
Jasper - Thank you.
Robi Ludwig - Your welcome.
usako - dr. ludwig, can you tell us why you are not against cousin relationships? i am just curious, since most people would be against that kind of relationship,unless they have been in the same situation.
Robi Ludwig - Usako,I'm not against healthy relationships. I've not come across any research to suggest that cousin relationships, between two consulting adults are damaging psychologically in any way. Having said that, I think people havea hard time understanding these relationships because it feels so close.So close the relationship can be experienced as incest, and incest is morally wrong and psychologically damaging. Also, there is a cousin marriage inmy family history.
usako - thanks dr. ludwig. it's so nice to know that there are people who understand our situation:)
CnMe - dr. ludwig,often people come together who have kids from a previous marriage... they face a unique set of problems, because they get teased at school. how wouldyou suggest the parent's help their kids deal with this?
Jasper - What about when family members have nothing directly against a cousin relationshipbut do feel a little bit embarrassed about what their friends might think?
Robi Ludwig - To all of you who are wondering how to deal with the discomfort of breakingthe news to friends, family, or helping your kids handle their unique experience,it to just be upfront and honest. The more you're willing to talk aboutit the less mysterious they make the whole thing. People will be less obsessed about it if you're willing to talk about it anytime, but first you haveto come to terms with it in order to help other people come to terms withit.
CnMe - i agree with that... rana's friends were initially "grossed out" until i explained thingsto them in a way that made them feel i wasn't preaching at them
damien - i would like to say that i am in a bit of a predicament. I have had a cousin relationshipbefore. I went to New York this summer from England and found that I havea very strong friendship with my cousin. The problem is I am beginningto feel more for her and I am not sure what to do. i have been involved with a cousin before and therefore i don't want o get hurt as my emotions are getting very intense.
Robi Ludwig - Damien, if you don't want risk getting hurt, then go slow. There is no guarantee in any relationship that you won't get hurt, but the better you get to know someone, the better off you'll be.
Rocko - Dr. Ludwig, how can we bring the society and friends, where the majority considerscousin couples as incest, to accept a cousin relationship as a normal thing,that they do not consider us as freaks, monsters etc.?
Robi Ludwig - Rocko,people in general are resistant to anything that is different. If cousin relationships are vocal about themselves and produce productive membersof society that is one way. They other way is to get professionals to publish data and research on the subject. Just continue to educate people and live your lives in a healthy and productive way.
Rocko - Dr. Ludwig,you're so right.
MaryGrace - Dr. Ludwig,what advice would you give to older cousins who have rediscovered the intenselove we had for each other 40 yrs ago? Quite frankly, we are a bit overwhelmedby the emotions involved. We are in our 60's. Both with grown children from previous marriages.
Robi Ludwig - MaryGrace,I would tell older in love cousins to enjoy their feelings and themselves.You also may want to have other people in the family who support your relationship,to help members who don't support you to understand.
MaryGrace - Thank you, Dr. Ludwig.
daizy - Dr. Ludwig,what advice do you have for those who live in states that do not acceptcousin marriages?
Robi Ludwig - Daizy,you obviously need to abide by the law. Refer to a lawyer to find out how to best proceed under those circumstances.
daizy - So many cousins come to the chat room with the burden of the law against them, it seems quite unfair
Robi Ludwig - Daizy, life is often unfair. The goal is to figure out how to problem solve soyou can get want you want out of life. Don't be a victim.
daizy - Thank you
CnMe - we had a guest the other night who wants to marry his cousin, but she refuses to approachthe family until her twin sister approves. this does not look likely, asthe twin is furious. do you think that family often with-holds approvalas a way of manipulating, but might later accept the relationship oncethe couple is married?
Robi Ludwig - CnMe,this sister's refusal to get married unless her twin sister approves isa resistance on her part not necessarily her family's part.
CnMe - hmmm, i hadn'teven considered that possibility!
CnMe - we have many young people who come here.... college age, living at home, who experience alot of resistance. one family once stopped financial assistance with tuition until the daughter ended her relationship. another is now facing leavingher home and starting a life without her parent's acceptance. i wish they were here, but since they are not, what would you suggest to them?
Robi Ludwig - People who are in this predicament, need to ask their family what could they doto help them feel more comfortable with the relationship. The couple may also need to explain their plan and why they are right for one another. They will also need to find someone who is not opposed in the family so they can help smooth things over. If everyone is against the relationship,there is not much hope for it. History proves, for some reason, it's rarely successful. They would need to get the support of some family members orthere will always be the feeling that there is something wrong with the relationship.
Rocko - Dr. Ludwig,do you perhaps know how large is the portion of couples witch failed just because of the society's prejudices or legislative prohibitions?
Robi Ludwig - Rocko, I don't have any statistical data on your question.
ta - Dr. Ludwig,my cousin and I have an 8 month old daughter together. my parents and siblings have a relationship with her. however, his parents and siblings do not.we plan to get married in a few years and we don't plan to tell anyoneour plans until then. do you think this is the best plan or should we proceed in another manner?
Robi Ludwig - ta,what is your objection to telling people you are getting married?
ta - i know that our parents will totally against it. my mother knows the paternity of my daughter and she just won't ever address that topic. at this point, mymother is the only one who knows for sure that my cousin is my daughter's father, however i am sure others suspect..
Robi Ludwig - Ta, as I said earlier, you need to find someone in the family who supports your relationship to help other members of your family to accept it. Tell them why you are right for each other, and that you want and need them to be a part of your lives. Not talking is not the answer, it's just avoiding. It sounds like your family is in denial about the situation.
CnMe - if two peopledo not share the same religious beliefs, which some couples here experience....can their relationship withstand their differences?
Robi Ludwig - CnMe,It would depend on the couples ability to problem solve around this issue,and how important their religion is to them. Anything is possible, but it is always easier if a couple share the same religious beliefs. There are enough potential areas of conflict in a marriage, without this beingone of them.
Rocko - Dr. Ludwig, just curious: are you or have you ever been in a cousin relationship, if I may ask?
RobiLudwig - I had a crush on a couple of my cute cousins as a kid.I don't know if they felt the same way though.
Rocko - cool
Jasper - None ofthe ugly ones though eh. LOL just kidding!
Robi Ludwig - No ,Jasper, none of the ugly ones. Just the cute ones. I have my criteria you know.
Jasper - LOL I'm with ya.
CnMe - LOL
CnMe - i know youare about out of time.... (i wish we had more! lol) but i do want to tellyou how much we appreciate your coming to chat with us today. i think your insight will help many people here at cc.com
Jasper - Thank youDr. Ludwig, your time and conversation is very much appreciated!
daizy - Yes, thank you Dr. Ludwig, and thank you CnMe for inviting her.
usako - thanks for joining us dr. ludwig :). your advice meant a lot.
CnMe - of course, you are welcome to stay if you have nothing better to do
ta - i want to offe rmy thanks as well.
Rocko - Yes Dr. Ludwig, it is so nice from you to have visited us.
Robi Ludwig - Thank you for having me.
Robi Ludwig - Thank you I appreciate that. Good luck to all of you. I wish you all the best.

How to register free email at www.gmail.com or Gmail sign inwww.Gmail.com | Gmail Sign | Gmail.com Log In - Today almost everything is being done online hence it has become must for everyone to be a tech savvy so that he/she can do the basic stuff. Since most of the stuff are being done online one important thing for all such activities is having a valid email account. Whether you are applying for a job or signing up for a newsletter on a news website, playing a game online or buying stuff online, you must have an email account.
When we talk about the most popular and reliable free email service provider, www.gmail.com comes first in my list however there are several other options too which the users can go for. The other major free email service providers include, Yahoomail.com, Hotmail/Outlook.com, Aol.com, mail.com etc.
It depends on the choice and preference of the users which company they want to go with. For me, Gmail.com works pretty well as I find it very reliable, easy to use and it comes with several other associated products such as Google Plus social account, Google Analytic and Webmasters tools for managing websites etc.
Also see: Download WhatsApp on PC
In today's article I'll be sharing a method to create an account with www.gmail.com or Gmail.com log in however in case you want to go with other companies which I've discussed above, you can search through this blog to find out methods to create an account or to sign in to your email account with those companies. Before we move forward to create an account, let me give a brief introduction about Gmail.
Brief discussion about www.gmail.com
Interesting features of www.gmail.com
- Reliability - Whenever anyone buys any product or service, the first time which comes in his mind how reliable it is. If we talk about the reliability of Gmail.com, I will give 10 out of 10 for its reliability. In my 9 years of continuous use of Gmail I hardly found any occasion when the service wasn't available or see any technical Issue !. So the reliability is an important factor for Gmail.com.
- Send larger files as attachment - Sending big files as an attachment is a major issue and unlike other service providers, Gmail has the solution for this problem. With Gmail, you can send files sized upto 25 GB as attachment because of an innovative Gdrive integration.
- Cloud Storage - With each account sign up, the users get 15 GB of cloud storage absolutely free to store different files. The company offers such huge space free of cost which can cost you great dollars if you buy this much of space from cloud storage companies. You can save photos, files which you need to access from different locations frequently because of the reliability of Gmail and because of being the most secured !
- Security - Being the most advanced tech company, Google offers great security for an email account to protect personal data that users send/receive through emails. The unbreakable security system and notifications immediately after noticing strange activity with email account make Gmail the most secure out of available options (atleast for me!)
- Hangout with Hangout - Hangout virtually with your friends living anywhere in the world through chat messenger which comes as an integrated feature of Gmail. Users can make audio/video calls with anyone else having Gmail.com account too with the best voice and video quality !
- Google Plus - Get social online through your Google Plus social media account and have latest updates about different stuff from across the globe !
- Google Docs - One of the best part of Gmail is Google docs ! You can create forms to collect data from your website or by directly sharing the link to Google form. There are lots of great feature by which you can make your Google Form look interesting such as adding radio button, offering choice to select one option out of available options etc. Creating form is pretty easy and could be used to collect data from website's users OR to collect data for a research project.

Poll: With Terminus coming up in the near future, would you like to see an extended crossover with the TV Show in Living in a World of Fiction Season 2? (The main cast will always be the game characters and Dominic, whether or not we do any sort of crossover.) Vote Now!
Author has written 1 story for Walking Dead.
Hello! The name's Dominic, or Dom if you want. I'm a casual twenty year old with a fanatical interest in all things Walking Dead. I'm currently working on a massive OC series based around Telltale's Walking Dead games and even other episodic titles in the future ;) I also have a massive love for Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and music. Nothing better than being a geek!
If you'd like to learn more about the series check out the section below, I'll have each season/spin-off listed separately there! Maybe even some information regarding mini-stories I have planned in the near future :)
Stuff I like:
No Going Back?/Going to Ruin?/Ruin to Redemption? by ZombieGuy96
Clementine gets a chance to start again after everything goes to ruin, but can she change events for the better or just prolong the inevitable? This is possibly my all-time favorite fanfiction series ever and is what inspired me to start writing again in the first place. The writing is fantastic. It's dark, with touches of humour. If you haven't read this story, and you're into the Walking Dead games, go read it now!
A New Day Gone Bye by TheBigBadWolf1
This story perfectly meshes together the Walking Dead TV Show/Comics with Telltale's game series. After getting stabbed by a mugger in Atlanta, Lee wakes up from a coma in a hospital, and wakes up to find Rick Grimes, and together they set off into the new world. If you've ever dreamed about Lee and Rick blastin' walkers together, this is the place!

"Dominic always dreamed about what he'd do if he was in the Walking Dead, but he got a little more than he hoped for after finding himself in post-Apocalyptic Georgia. With the knowledge of the games in mind, he set out to save anyone he could. However, in a world where the dead roam the streets, no one is safe for long."
Author's notes: This is the only finished season currently up on the site! In this season, we see Dominic go from the ordinary teen he was to a hardening survivor. When he meets Lee and Clementine, his life is changed forever.
Season 2
"After barely escaping Savannah alive, Dominic, Molly, and Clementine are forced into running for their lives. With the responsibility of leading their group to safety suddenly thrust onto Dominic's shoulders, will he be able to hold onto his humanity while ensuring their own survival?"
Author's notes: This is the current season running for the story :) It will tell events that happen during the period of time between Seasons 1 and 2 of the game, as well as crossover with the TV Show!
Season 3
This season will revolve around the events of Season 2 of the Walking Dead game. More information will be posted here once Season 2 finishes :)

Walter was born in Toronto (North York) 1969. He grew up in a middle class family and was always a musical child. Although he never took formal music lessons (because his parents didn't value or notice the special talent he had), he continued to practise the electric bass along with his older brother (on guitar) in the basement of his semi-detached suburban house. Walter's early influences included RUSH, TRIUMPH, MAX WEBSTER, AC/DC, LED ZEPPELIN, and BLACK SABBATH.
In high school, he studied classical guitar from grades 9 to 12 always receiving the highest marks in the class. In Grade 11, he decided to indulge himself by playing the bass in concert band. He drove his teacher nuts by playing complex bass lines. He could never play what was written on the sheet music, always embellishing anything he could get his hands to play.
In 1991, Walter decided to major in music at York University where he continued to enhance his classical guitar playing skills. He graduated York University in 1996 with a degree in Fine Arts (Music), and from there went on to Teacher's College to become an Elementary School teacher. After graduating Teacher's College in 1997, Walter obtained a job with the Peel District School Board teaching Grade 5, and since then, has taught many other grades. Part of his assignment was to deliver the music curriculum to the Junior Level Grades (4-6). In 2010, Walter became a full time music teacher at his current school teaching recorder and Orff instruments to Grades 2-5, and Concert Band instruments to Grades 6, 7 and 8.
Walter's love for composing music never died. He continued to write music not only for himself but for his students as well. In 1994, Walter released a children's album called "Don't Say Good-bye" under the name WALLY BEAVER - a cute little beaver with a (chipmunk) sounding voice. The album contained a number of educational, environmental tracks for children to sing. The album was designed to help children and adults learn how to care for and protect planet earth. Some of the tracks include Mother Earth, Are You Environmentally Friendly? The Next Generation, the self-titled album track, Don't Say Good-bye, and many more.
It wasn't until 2008 that Walter began to demonstrate some serious attitude about composing pop/rock music. Walter began writing songs for popular artists, such as Michael Bublé, Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift but ran into snags and obstacles when it came to actually promoting and delivering his songs to such artists. In the meantime, Walter created a band name for himself just in case he wrote enough material to release an actual album, and thus, in 2010 he came up with the name BEND OVER BACKWARDS.
BEND OVER BACKWARDS will hopefully inspire listeners to look beyond what the traditional record labels are currently releasing out in the (increasingly fragmented) music industry, and help people become aware that there are some independent music artists (such as Walter) who are talented enough to write material just as good as, if not better than some of the material that people are listening to on the radio, but for reasons unknown, can't seem to connect with or be recognized by the major record labels. Walter decided it was time to do something proactive by becoming his own publisher and by becoming a self-promoter of his own music.

JUSTIN BIEBER: In Car Crash After Paparazzi Chase
Posted June 25th, 2014 @ 10:01am
Justin Bieber was involved in another high-speed-pursuit with paparazzo -- and this one ended in a crash.
According to TMZ, a car driven by a photographer was chasing Justin's Escalade in Beverly Hills today (Tuesday). The Bieb's driver was speeding down Canon Drive, trying to lose the photog, when a BMW was pulling out of a parking structure. The BMW ended up smashing into the side of the Escalade.
Justin, who was unharmed, didn't wait for the police to arrive. He almost immediately hopped out of his SUV, jumped into another car and sped off.
In 2012, Bieber went 100 miles-an-hour on the L.A. freeway as he tried to evade pursuing paparazzi.

Tips for Potty Training Your Child at Night
While 88 percent of kids develop bladder control by age 6, some children struggle with bedwetting. Get expert advice on how to regulate this issue.
When my first daughter showed signs of potty readiness at age 2, I was more than ready to help her ditch the diapers. Before long, she was proudly sporting Elmo underwear and staying dry all day long. I was ecstatic. As a potty-training novice, I was certain that it would be a matter of weeks before she was dry at night, too. Of course, reality wasn't nearly as neat and tidy.
According to Tai Lockspeiser, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at The Children's Hospital in Aurora, Colo., nighttime bladder control is a maturational process that can lag behind daytime bladder control by months or years. Twenty percent of kids still have nighttime accidents at 5 years of age, and doctors don't define bedwetting until children are 6-years-old.
So it's completely normal, even expected, for kids to take their time with nighttime potty training. But the delay leaves many parents stuck in a waiting game, wondering when daytime potty learning will carry over into nighttime dryness. While parents can't speed up the developmental process, they can help encourage dry nights with these simple steps.
Set realistic expectations
While 88 percent of kids develop nighttime bladder control by age 6, the timeline varies widely. Boys typically train more slowly than girls, says Lockspeiser. Kids who are exceptionally deep sleepers and those with developmental delays may have more difficulty with wetting as well, she says.
Establish good potty practice
The best way to encourage nighttime dryness is to practice good daytime habits, notes Steve Hodges, M.D., a pediatric urologist at Wake Forest University's Baptist Medical Center. Children should use the toilet as soon as they feel the urge – holding can strain the bladder and worsen nighttime wetting, he says. And using the toilet before bedtime is a must.
Encourage digestive health
"Constipation is probably the most underappreciated cause of bedwetting," says Hodges. "It plays a role in 30 percent of the cases I see." A full bowel puts pressure on the bladder, making nighttime accidents more likely.
Cut caffeine
Limit fluids two hours before bedtime, particularly caffeinated beverages. "Caffeine is a diuretic, so it promotes urination. Drinking it before bedtime will make it harder for kids to stay dry at night," says Lockspeiser.
Ensure nighttime toilet access
Nightlights in hallways and bathrooms can help kids find their way easily. If the trek to the toilet is too far or involves stairs that tots can't navigate on their own, parents can place one of the small portable toilets commonly used for potty-training in their room at night.
Parents' attitudes are highly important as kids develop nighttime control. "Treat it as a problem-solving exercise – a family science experiment," says Collins. Above all, make sure that children know that nighttime wetting or soiling is not their fault. Maintain a relaxed, supportive attitude, and you'll pave the way for a future filled with clean nights and happily dry mornings.

I recently had my hair micro braided at Bijou. The service was great they gave me chips and juice free of charge. I was very comfortable and they always asked me if I was okay. Pricing was very fair and whatever price they quote you that is the price that you are charged. The staff was very nice and polite. I recommend this shop. I had short hair going in that shop they grabbed and braided every piece of hair on my head. My hair came out very neat and tight.
I brought my daughter in for cornrows about 9-9:30am. They didn't start until an hour later as they had 3 others in for micros. I came back at 12:30 and she was ready to go. I paid a total of $60. The hair looked very neat although my daughter said the front and back of her head was braided uncomfortably tight. The micros in progress looked great. I would go back but will specify not to braid so tightly.

Couldn't agree more. After all the layoffs I wonder what the manager/VP ratio is to the actual "worker bees". Company is way too top heavy. As you said, managers are even more afraid for their jobs because if the axe falls they know there is nothing out there.
There is stuff out there, just not for the disengaged. ARW management has been so internally focused that it would be hard to bring a honed skillset to the market after working at ARW. They know it, hence they are lemmings to ML. Can't blame them, it is all the know and have avaliable to them.

Online Deliveries Lighten Burden for the Disabled; Empowerment, Not Just Convenience, For an Unexpected Class of Consumer
By JAYSON BLAIR
Published: September 5, 2000
Mary West stumbled across YourGrocer.com, an online grocery store, one afternoon a few years ago and quickly became a fan of its fresh blueberry muffins and fast deliveries.
Ordering her groceries by computer made Ms. West like any other shopper, and for this she was grateful. Now, Ms. West, who is blind, does not stand out the way she once did in D'Agostino's or Gristede's.
''I was looking for a place to do a lot of my shopping,'' said Ms. West, 35, ''because I am visually impaired and I can't read labels and things on the grocery shelves.'' In the past, she had to rely on the help of store clerks and friends to shop for groceries and perform other tasks.
Before she had access to online delivery services, shopping had become so difficult that she had given up, ordering her favorite, although much less healthful, takeout instead.
''It really helps me out because I have a bad back, bad knees, diabetes and I can't really go the supermarket anymore,'' said Ms. West, who lives in Chelsea. ''Four or five years ago I was not able to cook my own food because I did not have any, so I was ordering out, and that was not helping my health or my pocketbook.''
Now she uses special voice recognition software to surf the Web for everything from dishwashing detergent to vegetables.
People like Ms. West, who have a temporary or permanent disability that makes it difficult to handle everyday chores on their own, are increasingly using online delivery services to rent movies, pick up cleaning supplies and buy groceries.
The advantages of information technology are pronounced in places like Manhattan, advocates for the disabled say, because crowded streets, the lack of access for the handicapped to cabs and subway stations, and other factors complicate their lives.
To the disabled, the growth of online delivery services has been empowering. To their advocates, it represents progress. To some owners of such businesses, it has become another piece of a shrewd business equation. Noble as it may be to help the disabled like rent a movie from Blockbuster or buy fresh vegetables on their own, to J. Maxwell Enoch, the chief executive of YourGrocer. com, it is about capitalizing on a market his company's founders did not even envision.
''Undoubtedly, the sort of people we are talking about have found a way to our service,'' Mr. Enoch said, ''and it is very meaningful to them.''
People with permanent disabilities, like Ms. West, and those who are temporarily off their feet, like women recovering after childbirth and runners with sprained knees, have created a new marketing niche for Mr. Enoch's company, which is based in Eastchester, N.Y., and serves New York City and some of its suburbs.
''In Manhattan, you are held hostage by the D'Agostinos and the Gristedes of the world,'' Mr. Enoch said in a recent interview. He noted that those grocery stores are often busy and cannot provide much attention to a disabled customer. Even when the handicapped are able to navigate these stores, he added, they often have difficulty getting the items back home. ''A lot of the things we carry are heavy,'' Mr. Enoch said, and for the disabled, the benefits of delivery are magnified.
Executives of similar online delivery services said they were not necessarily trying to attract disabled customers when they started operating. Most of the businesses, based in Manhattan's Silicon Alley, focused on reaching young urban professionals, appealing to a simple desire for convenience.
''We go where the customers lead us,'' said Skip Trevathan, the chief operating officer at Kozmo.com, which is based in Manhattan and delivers many items, including toilet paper and movies, in cities across the country. ''It obviously was in the thinking behind the business model, but only in a narrow sense of people who were homebound for a few days because of something like pregnancy or an injury.''
That vision has expanded, Mr. Trevathan added. Now, the first page of Kozmo's employee training manual includes a letter from a disabled customer, Cameo C. Massey. Ms. Massey, a single mother in Seattle who suffers from Epstein-Barr syndrome and has severe nerve damage from troublesome surgeries, wrote about her difficulties doing everyday chores.
''I find myself at the mercy of my own limitations,'' Ms. Massey wrote. ''Your service has helped make my life filled with more quality time. By being able to order books, magazines, movies, games and food from Kozmo, I find that I am able to feel more in touch and up to date with normal people.''
Many disabled New Yorkers echo those sentiments. Ms. West, who teaches at the Computer Center for the Visually Impaired People at Baruch College, said that for the first time in her life, she ''can handle everything like a sighted person.''
Kozmo.com officials said they believed that as more disabled Americans gain access to computers, they would increasingly rely on online delivery services. A recent Harris poll conducted for the National Organization on Disability and financed by Aetna U.S. Healthcare found that adults with disabilities were twice as likely as the nondisabled to report that the Internet had significantly improved their lives. But the poll also found that only 43 percent of the disabled respondents had access to the Internet, compared with 57 percent of the nondisabled respondents.


text: The stem cell research fraud perpetrated by South Korea's Hwang Woo-suk "is not a sin that adheres to a theory or to a field of research," so scientific efforts are not likely to be stopped because of it, writes bioethicist Arthur Caplan. But USA TODAY reports that more revelations of wrongdoing associated with Hwang's work are expected to unfold as investigators look into other areas, such as the government's role in sustaining the fraud. Hwang, meanwhile, stands by his work, claiming, "I can replicate the process any time."

Nyack College, A Partner Instructor School for Yale's Center for Scientific Teaching
Dr. Jacqueline Washington, (above) chair and professor of the Nyack College Biology and Chemistry Department announced recently that Nyack has been selected as a Partner Instructor School to join The Center for Scientific Teaching at Yale University's Small World Initiative: Crowdsourcing the Discovery of Antibiotics.
Numerous experts have recommended that all undergraduate students should be introduced to authentic scientific research at the introductory level, regardless of their major by replacing traditional cookbook labs with lab discovery research courses. Research has shown that students benefit greatly as discovery-based instruction engages students, allows them to have ownership, stimulates their curiosity, and promotes deep, long lasting learning.
This project exposes students to a worldwide antibiotic crisis–-most pharmaceutical companies have moved away from the development of new antibiotics to the pursuit of more lucrative drugs and the majority of the antibiotics that are now available are ineffective due to antibiotic resistance of pathogens. Consequently, there are increasing incidences in which there are no effective drugs available to treat infections.
In the Small World Initiative course students isolate, characterize, and identify antibiotic producing bacteria from soil in the hopes of finding novel bacteria. The majority of antibiotics available today were found in soil dwelling microbes.

Whiteboard display issue
I like the ability to email and save drawings to Dropbox. I do have an issue with the whiteboard itself because the board's orientation won't change when placed in my bluetooth keyboard case with landscape orientation. It is always upside down so I have to remove it from the case.
Other than that...good product for the price.
Very Handy App for Quick, Simple Illustration
Very handy and works great. I wish the eraser was a little bigger but you can always use "trash" to clean the board.
OK but needs improvement
Love the ability to email to colleagues. However, the erase functionality is horrible. Also if you close out of the app and go back in to resume, text is very pixelated. Good, bit needs work especially since it's a paid app.

Even if Matt Stone weren't the author of this book, he probably would have been in it anyway. Sixteen and strapped to a 1971 Olds 4-4-2--his family's insurance man must have loved him! With his long and varied professional and private automotive interests, Stone brings just the right sensibilities to the book. No hyperbole, no pompousness, just good stories well told. The stories here are not about mere transportation but life, dreams, first love, venturing into the world literally and figuratively. "Coming of Age" in other words. American readers may simply not appreciate how uniquely American these stories are in terms of cultural undercurrents. From the age at which people get licenses here to the--damnable--ease with which they get them, "only in America" is what many readers in other parts of the world will think.
Nice photos, excellent typography, pleasing design with a bit of a scrapbook flavor, even an Index that fits the bill.
Full review at SpeedReaders.info. Copyright 2011, Sabu Advani.
My only problem with My First Car are the number of typos throughout the book. In story after story, the wrong word is used, or a word is missing. An example is Peter Brock's bio on page 78, where it says "he remains involved in many author motorsport and automotive design enterprises." Obviously the word should be other, not author. How did a proofreader or editor not pick up on this and the many other errors like it? It made for a distracting read for me, but others might never notice.
Otherwise, a very good book with lots of neat old photos of vintage cars.
Motor Trend executive editor and motoring author Matt Stone compiled 60 stories of these "firsts" from titans of the auto industry and other celebrities. The interviewees share what drew them to, how they enjoyed, and other remembrances of their first car.
The first thing I wanted to checkout was how many claimed 1957 Chevrolets Bel Air "firsts" like me. I'm in good company with motorsports legend Mario Andretti and well-known auto care product manufacturer Barry Meguiar.
I enjoyed how Stone presents each of these stories. First he offers a short background on the individual. Then he weaves the tale of acquisition, use, misuse, and separation from the revered vehicle. There are many stories of how these vehicles helped to build a life-time bond with someone close.
Some folks still have their "first." Others have built tribute "firsts" to relive some of their special times. Whatever the case, most everyone had fond memories of their "first."
The recollections from folks like Jay Leno, Carroll Shelby, Tony Stewart, Danica Patrick, George Barris, Ed Welburn, and Ken Gross keep your curiosity up.
Stone's motor journalist experience yields a thorough look at the topic. His love of automobiles adds interest and draws you into the story.
This is one of those books that is always hard to put down once you pick it up. Some of the people in the book may not all be mainstream, but there are plenty to peak any car enthusiasts interest.

In the Players handbook list of spells, one of the level 5 Paladin spells is "Destructive Smite", however I can't find the spell description? Where can I find the description of the spell?

Destructive Smite is most likely renamed to Destructive Wave, as it is also a 5th level spell, and has the same spell description as the spell Destructive Smite which was in the Alpha playtest.
Destructive Smite has been renamed into Destructive Wave as far as I can tell.
This post should have the answer you are looking for. I cannot speak for reliability.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 230 reviews
Needs new carpet. Looks stained and nasty
The hotel was much older and "worn out" than we expected from the published photographs. Carpet in room was old and dirty, but otherwise the room was ok. Also it was very noisy late at night, as the bed was located in the room next to the hallway/walkway and lots of other guests were up late (until at least 2am).
I love this place so much im always coming back here when I stay in Panama.
Beautiful view of the lake and just a 5 minute walk to the beach! Perfect location, away from the overpopulated and noisy main stay area but still just a short drive to get there if you are wanting great food and nightlife. The room was clean and accommodating with a full kitchen that included everything we needed during our stay. We originally chose to stay here since it was pet friendly and we were traveling with our cats. They loved sitting on the balcony with us enjoying the nice breeze. The front desk and housekeeping folks were very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this wonderful resort and we will for sure be staying here again in the future.
Not the hotels fault but one of our dogs' health condition worsened while we were there. We left early and when we got home had to have him put to sleep. Not the ideal vacation. Once again, not the hotels fault

Harbour View is a low price alternative in Kuching perfectly situated by the basars and the riverside.
Rooms are clean and all you need is available except a good Wi-fi. Wi-fi is sometimes available in the lobby but sometimes not at all and always with a low speed connection. It is thus hardly usebale as business hotel. The highlight is the breakfast in Sarawakan style but with an excellent omelett cook always ready to meet your own demands for spices etc.To change money there are many facilities a 100 meters away bur compare prices they are really different. The 7th and 11th floor are smoke free which by some chinese or malay people is interpreted that they can smoke in the corridor outside the smoke free room. When I made the staff aware of it they sent someone to let fresh air into the corridor. The staff is very friendly so if they only could install a working Wi-fi this could also be a nice business hotel.
